A tiny pulsing strip of muscle could help save the lives of 33 million people. That's how many people suffer from atrial fibrillation, the most common type of irregular heartbeat. Scientists have yet ...

A new tissue paper (as in, paper made from biological tissue) is so strong it can be folded into origami. Northwestern University The discovery happened, as so many discoveries do, by accident. Adam ...

An international research team has found a simple method for growing lung tissue in the lab. These organoids could be used in diagnosis, drug development, and fundamental research. Laboratory studies ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...

The Tissue Culture Lab provides a shared resource with instrumentation and expertise to support the establishment and maintenance of cell cultures as invitro models for a variety of tissues. The ...

As far back as the 19 th century, the cultivation of cells or tissues extracted from a biopsy was explored in analytical biology. However, zoologists at the time did not have the required laboratory ...

Someday, doctors would like to grow limbs and other body tissue for soldiers who have lost arms in battle, children who need a new heart or liver, and many other people with critical needs. Scientists ...

This laboratory course prepares students with the hands-on training required for working in a tissue engineering laboratory, including the development of experimental design and laboratory ...

Within our bodies, cells survive by being chatty: They rely on a network of blood vessels to communicate with one another and receive vital nutrients. Replicating this cell crosstalk in a lab is less ...

Laboratory studies of lung tissue usually require the removal of large amounts of human or animal tissue. Now scientists from the University of Freiburg's Faculty of Medicine have succeeded in ...
